Sup guys, im back again.

Let's begin..


Throttle cable goes through the firewall here:








Stock GSR vs Spoon TB


The GSR fits INSIDE the Spoon TB


Oh yes..




All done


Takin out the trash


Well initial response when I cranked the car was WTF?! the needle went straight to redline. shut it off and turned out the cable was on wrong and was pulling the rotor
After we got everything straight, backing out the driveway was nice. Throttle response is ******* awesome. Revs up real nice and quick. From a stop accelerating is nice and smooth, especially while in gear. For example: on the freeway while in 5th, I don't have to put much effort into passing someone. No need to downshift etc etc.

Any comments/questions are welcome.

 

Very nice car...and good install pics!...do you notice the TB more than u did your intake? And what IM are u using? skunk2?

Your car looks good!!...itr lip and what are those cf things on the end of your lip and whered u get them??

 

did you port match it?

 

i'm getting a skunk2 manifold next week, and probably picking up a bbk 70mm t/b as well. Whats the size of the spoon t/b? Also, how was the power difference as soon as you put on the manifold? and also the t/b?

 

Good lord I bet that intake is loud. Me likey.

 

Spoon=70mm

what is your current modlist?

 

yes, im running a skunk2 manifold. The Spoon throttle body is 70mm tapered to stock ITR which is 64mm i believe.

skunk2 manifold helped out top end a whole lot, but you'll have to raise your VTEC x-over and get bigger cams. with the TB i didn't really feel much gain HP or TQ wise, but throttle response was what i was looking for and expecting and its what i got.

no, i didn't portmatch the TB or the skunk2. i simply just bolted it up.

 

J's racing intake
Skunk2 manifold
Spoon TB
CTR cams(untuned)
Toda header
stock exhuast(i know...it sucks, shut up)
Hi-flow cat
VAFC(with VTEC set at 5700rpm)

 

looking good!

any reason you chose the J's ***** intake?

Looks like the throttle bodies are getting it on Looks nice.

Edit: What kind of intake is that?


[Modified by Kris, 12:24 AM 1/5/2003]

 

your mod list is almost like mine..except you got more highend stuff. My mod list is:
CTR Intake cam (untuned as well)
skunk2 cam gears
aem cai
dc 4-2-1 ss header
greddy sp cat back
test pipe
Chipped p28 ecu...chipped w/ my custom all motor program
(next week) Skunk2 manifold and BBK t/b

anyways, did you buy a new throttle cable or just basically switch it all over?

 

i swapped out the GSR cable for the ITR cable..

Thanks to Stick for hookin me up with the cable

 

nice thread

i wish my integra was running

 

ahhh a tb replacment. So easy, its almost fun

 

what does the Spoon TB cost?

 

i think brand new goes for 450-500

 

Looks good Dustin Going crazy on mods lately
I was thinking about picking up a Spoon TB used, and your display of the spoon/gsr tb humping action has shown me the light. I may have to look for that for a future investment. You know anyone with an extra stock Type R intake arm?

 

Looks really nice

 

...

 

i hated my 70mm. throttle response got annoying after a while (no one could drive my car correctly) and it seemed overkill for a non-FI setup. and it made my intake HISS really loud 24/7 (louder than a normal AEM).

 

same exact reasons i would be installing a very stiff suspension, racing cluctch with heavy duty press plate and blah blah blah, so that everyone else but me would hate driving it and quit freakin asking me to drive my damn car

 

This man has got a really good point.

Thanks for the review. Do you think that a straight through 70mm would help if any? along with port matching?

 

I have heard from some technical wizards that big throttle bodies actually hurt flow. My own experience with a big throttle body was improved throttle response. I am going to dyno soon to get an accurate comparison of my stock ITR throttle body vs my Erick's racing 70mm throttle body. I will post results.

 

nice setup u got...i bet with that new tb and j's intake it just howls away at idle..

 

Awesome- that would be something good to see. I believe I was reading a post in which I think it was (AJ Racing maybe?) talking about tb's that they are working on that are big bore. People were saying that gains if any are minimal- AJ agreed for the top end but said on the dyno big bore made the most increase through mid range with very little top end increase. I'll see if I can find the post.
